So, this is real and actually happening!
Finally!
As many of you know, private prisons and private funding for prisons has led to MUCH of the corruption and extortion and immoral practices to fill said prisons. The government has now declared private prisons and private funding as a drain and a waste of our money, no longer an option, they're cracking down and stopping the practice. The offices of the Inspector General have claimed that private prisons do not function as they should, are not as safe, are not as secure, and do not provide the same level of correctional programs, resources and cost-efficiency.
This is a HUGE step toward ending the well-known mistreatment of inmates and providing a better and more efficient "rehabilitation" or "correction" system, with private prisons making up over 12% of the prison inmate populations. For those of you who have dealt with private prisons, you understand what it can be like.. how poorly you tend to be treated and how disgusting and cheap the food is as well as how trumped up and expensive medical care can be.
It was in the news here in Slovenia too. I guess this is a big step in the right direction.
The other prison related news today was about Turkey. They will be releasing around 38,000 petty criminals because they must make room for really dangerous people. The ones that oppose the regime :(
It definitely is, there is too much corruption when prisons are run for money and not for the true purpose of "correcting" criminal behavior. I'm hoping that they will push legalization of more drugs as that is a big issue as well.. We shouldn't be told what we can put in OUR bodies as long as we aren't harming others..
That's good news too! Those people did things that didn't seriously impact people's lives and the true criminals are taking their places. I'm not saying that EVERY case should have been released that was, but at least it's petty crimes and not rapists or murderers or big time thieves.
Thanks for the input! :)
I´ve heard they (the private owners) even support some hard-core rap music, to make people commit crime and then get them, how nice. In our country (Czech Republic) we don´t have much information on this in the mainstream media. USA was our enemy, now you are our allies, the journalists have switched over to slandering China and Russia. One thing intrigues me: they still have not found out the issue of up to 1000 000 (yes one million!) suspected Falungong victims being murdered for organ transplants... Because it´s all secretly done for rich Westerners?
Wow!! Just look at the smack-down:

It does show you: if you invest in a company that depends on the government's favor, you're opening yourself up to a nasty black-swan event. A needed lesson.
Interestingly: Bloomberg has reported, "Bears Target Corrections Corp. of America Before Plunge: Chart" Hmmm...
The smack-down is real mate!
That's the truth too.. When you put your financial fate in shaky waters (gov-controlled ops) it's only a matter of time before they will change things to their own will. Good thing is though, in this case, it will actually benefit people as opposed to cost them.
Ultimately.. It's not clear what the future will hold for this, but I'm in the belief it was a good decision all-around. Might be a different agenda in place we haven't seen yet though. Time will tell. :)
hah posted 2 hours before you get rekt scrub lmao
LOL? It's not a competition.. "Scrub." Kinda funny coming from a loser who felt the need to comment just to insult me. :) Gotta love your arrogance lmfao! Pretty sad, cuz I actually like your posts and was under the impression you were a decent person. Guess not. :)
I could care less about what people think or the money involved. It's more about keeping people in the loop and opening their eyes to the important happenings in the world. Maybe not every post, but regardless, information is necessary and where it comes from is only part of the issue. I'm honestly glad you posted about it too. Means more people will see the facts, despite the author.
I don't think you understand what a joke is
I do lol it just came off as a young child being a troll in a chat box on a video game.. :P
No hard feelings, I just couldn't differentiate it being a joke from it being an ill-attempted insult. For future reference, now I am aware. lol
I like your posts too m8 if you looked I liked this one I was under the impression that you understood that this was a social media not a government email server lmao
